Quality Used SUVs at Chalmers Ford

Buying a used car can come with many benefits, from saving on cost to getting more choice. At Chalmers Ford in Albuquerque, New Mexico, we offer a wide range of quality cars. Our guide details all the benefits you can expect when you buy an SUV secondhand from us.

What Are the Benefits of Buying a Used SUV?

Buying a used SUV can be a smart choice for many reasons. Let's explore the top benefits.

Save Money

One of the main reasons you might choose a secondhand car is the price. On average, used SUVs cost around half the price of new models. This means you can often get a decent-quality SUV at a more affordable price when you buy it a few years after its release date. Owning a used SUV is much more accessible for different budgets. Plus, you still get many of the features you want.

Avoid the Initial Depreciation

New vehicles will lose 20% to 30% of their value in the first year. Buying a used car helps you avoid this initial depreciation, as it has already been absorbed by the first owner. This means your investment holds its value better. You can steer clear of the rapid drop in price that you'd experience with a new car and instead take advantage of the depreciation.

Get More Features for Your Money

As used SUVs are cheaper than new ones, you may be able to get more for your money. For example, you might be able to afford a higher trim level or a model with more features and options. This means you can enjoy features and technology that might have been above your price point on a new vehicle.

Enjoy Reliable Performance

Modern SUVs are made to last, meaning many used models are still highly reliable. Some SUVs last 150,000 miles or more. For even more peace of mind, consider choosing a certified preowned SUV. These are thoroughly inspected and come with longer warranties.

Lower Your Insurance and Registration Costs

Insurance premiums and registration fees usually cost a lot less for used vehicles. This can help you save more money on top of what you'll save on the purchase price. Overall, this lowers the total cost of ownership.
